About Lawanda

Dr. Lawanda Hall is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She brings more than 21 years of experience and a doctorate in Behavioral Health to sessions. Her approach aims to help clients feel more capable and confident in daily life.

She uses straightforward techniques to support, encourage, and educate. Sessions focus on building awareness, practical coping skills, and stronger relationships. The tone is nonjudgmental and goal oriented so clients can make steady progress.

Dr. Hall blends several therapy methods to meet each person's needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used when people want clear steps toward change.

Her background includes long-term work with people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and trauma and abuse. She also supports those navigating grief, career stress, and relationship challenges. Many clients seek help with attachment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and blended family dynamics.

Dr. Hall works from Tennessee and offers services in English. She welcomes international clients as well. To begin, she asks people to share their goals so sessions can be tailored to practical needs and daily life.

Step 3

How these approaches translate to online work

Dr. Hall frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and respected as they talk through stress and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression by teaching concrete skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will talk together about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are structured over time.

The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to attend from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for conversations that focus on skill practice and problem solving. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered and CBT techniques to work effectively in remote sessions, tailoring pace and tools to each person's needs.
